My larger question is, why does the US think it should involve itself in another country's affairs to begin with? Isn't this violating the "sovereignty" argument? Also, I don't think this fanciful idea would ever work to begin with. The mere fact that you're voicing this perspective is a symptom of seeing the world in an Anglocentric way, i.e. incorrectly. You cannot just plaster a democracy onto any country you choose and expect them to do what you've told them to. Cultures need time and unifying events to embrace the idea of democracy. And, also counter to the Western idea of linear progress, it is neither inevitable nor a sign of higher development to have a democracy. Some cultures got it, some cultures will eventually have it, and some never will. For instance, Japan. Even though they are a democracy in name, they have been a one-party state for decades and discourage any opposition... not unlike the Chinese. Same with Singapore. The ruling party runs everything, has for 50+ years, and the whole country is a manicured city-park. I would also ask why the US doesn't intervene in either of these countries' affairs, despite them having more in common with their political enemies than, say, Germany- but I think we know the answer to that already.

@futuregenerationz Lol, "the bully". Very neoliberal view of things. Reduce a country's complexity down to a simple "good guy/bad guy" dynamic. Also, wouldn't that also make the US liable to be intervened? It conducts mass murder as we speak- cutting off Afghanistan's Central Bank from recognition by the IMF, and withdrawing all of its aid (which, since it was propping up the last government, is most of the aid) is causing a starvation crisis among its civilian population. If you want to be more literal, it funds the Saudi-led genocide in Yemen. If you want to be even more iteral, it is still in Iraq, and killing civilians. Most recent drone strike was Jan 19. So, should China and Russia launch operations on United States soil until its military is dissolved? occupy the country until it learns to act more responsibly? If your answer is "no", I want you to explain to me why not. And why the answer is different from when another country does the same thing.

@asscheeks3212 Ruined themselves? By that, do you mean 2nd largest economy on earth, near 100% control of the world's rare earth metals, able to compete with the US navy, and building up its own high-tech industry? China is far head of Europe and the US in electric vehicles, and are rapidly dominating the market, selling to emerging countries. They are also ahead in AI and drone tech. Not sure how all of those things you mentioned make them "ruined"

@futuregenerationz >"Please attack us conventionally" "Please, put the gun down and challenge me to a fistfight!" What a childish idea of war. Also, you'll never make it a fair fight. Even the 'Article 5' meme just communicates that Poland relies on the US for military. Can't fight its own battles, it seems (neither can Ukraine)

@jonathancurran5366 Once in the 1950s, 90s (during its economic collapse), and once in 2009. Not exactly a thriving democracy either And my point wasn't about the specifics of the Japanese electoral system, more that the US doesn't care about democracy, as long as the country is subservient to its business interests. Please, dont embarrass yourself by trying to refute that last point, I'd fall asleep before finishing the list of dictatorships the US has created, supported, or aligned with

@someblackguy7371 If I had to guess, you're either posting links or swearing at me in your replies. Those are the only things that automatically trigger YouTube comment deletion. Also ...I'm not a bot, but it probably hurts to think that the other side isn't just bots and might have legitimate points to make?

@someblackguy7371 How exactly is Chinese rule worse? The Chinese don't react to a pro-socialist revolution by trying to to regime change in another country. Unlike the US, they are fine cooperating with whichever government arises, without interfering constantly. The only exception it makes is with it's own borders, but that's usually a reaction to US influence (fighting back South Vietnam for example). As far as I'm concerned, a Chinese-led world means fewer civil wars in the Middle East and prosperity for working class people in Latin America. The Anglos are just too self-obsessed to properly rule the globe, constantly needing to control everything

@asscheeks3212 I know how China works, too. I have multiple friends from there who moved away. Of course it is not perfect, but it is a better system than the United States. At least under a single party, progress can be made. In California, there are homeless lining the streets and thousands of empty houses. Ironically, it is often the Chinese who buy those houses for property value. But if the US grew some balls they would pass a law that requires the person buying a house to live in the area. But they don't, because "individual rights" are the most important even if it makes the country worse and poorer China is fueled by corruption but at least they can still make infrastructure

@whatayaDO543 You're not too bright, are you? I said that China doesn't overthrow pro-socialist revolutions. Not that "China is pro-socialist". Got it? I was comparing to the US- Pinochet in Chile, tried to kill Castro 600+ times, Reza Shah in Iran, junta in Guatemala (overthrew Arbenz), killed Prime Minister Lumumba in Congo, etc etc Try paying attention to what I've written next time, okay? Can you do that??

@someblackguy7371 How many times will I need to repeat this? ...China may not be pro-socialist, you can call them whatever you want. My point is that they don't overthrow pro-socialist governments, like the US does. Has that gotten through your skull?

@asscheeks3212 Lol, "smoke and mirrors", that's why Japan has Honda and Toyota dominating in their biggest competitor (USA)'s own home market? And Sony, Canon, Nikon, Nissan, Sharp, Epson, Kawasaki, Toshiba, Panasonic, not to mention Nintendo, Suzuki, Sega What a joke Also stop repeating the same points, you said that in the other comment. Are you out of arguments this quickly??

@someblackguy7371 ...You just gonna ignore what I said? It's either YouTube or the channel, I have no control over it and you'd see if someone flagged your comment Salty lol

@princeofdarkness4711 You wanna drop some names? I know US and China worked together to spy on the USSR, but I need a list if you're claiming about coups.

@asscheeks3212 How does having debt make you 'not an economic giant'? That would also make the US not an economic giant, then, since it has $30T in debt. Also, China's is only $7T by comparison. The thing that matters is who that debt is owed to. In all 3 cases, most of their debt is owed to citizens, very little (%) is foreign, so nothing really happens if they can't pay it off

shh, let the Polish have their wet dream

@mattpotter8725 Oh, I'm sorry, did that make you mad? Tough shit, I'll say whatever I want. And the Poles, not the Russians, are the ones claiming to be Westernized and enlightened. So if they start suggesting the same thing Russia is trying, they are just hypocrites. Oh and the Polish government does have a plan to try and sow divisions within RF, so they're really already hypocrites. Weren't postwar borders supposed to be sacred??
